Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Henbording scored five from 4.39 xG, a modest over-performance that fits a side which repeatedly turned promising chances into goals. St Con Stanley managed one from 0.88 xG, also slightly above its estimate, but its four shots—three on target—left little room to build a sustained response. The visitors’ 18 shots, 17 on target and 53% possession point to a clear advantage in pressure and chance creation; this was not a case of five goals arriving from a handful of improbable strikes. The early sequence is telling: after Fischer’s opener, Philippe Robert equalised two minutes later, but Fischer restored the lead and Pedro Guzman added another before the 21st minute. Henbording then extended the margin in the second half, turning a productive start into a comprehensive away win.

St Con Stanley had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

• Norbert Fischer (7.6) - Scored twice, including the opener and the goal that put Henbording back in front after the hosts’ reply.
• Luis Pinto (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Fischer’s first goal, contributing directly to two of the visitors’ five.

The possession figures were relatively close, but the match was not: Henbording paired its slight share of the ball with a substantial edge in shots, shots on target and corners. St Con Stanley recorded more dribbles and tackles, evidence of activity without enough attacking volume to change the result. The visitors’ 85% pass accuracy and 17 efforts on target suggest their control was more useful than merely ceremonial.

The late goals from Luis Pinto and Javier Reyes made the final margin five, while the two yellow cards came well apart in a match with no red cards. St Con Stanley did find a quick answer through Philippe Robert, and that response briefly kept the score level. Henbording’s three goals in the opening 21 minutes, however, established the direction of travel; the remaining half-hour-plus simply took a while to file the paperwork.
